Do they know how many years from 1918 it took before it got to be the normal (still quite lethal for compromised immune systems) flu?

- notacoward 5y agoThe main part of the pandemic included three waves over almost exactly two years, starting in April 1917. There were "aftershocks" in 1920-21 but those were clearly less virulent strains. OTOH, similar/related H1N1 strains continue to reach concerning levels every few years even today.
